Weightlifting aloneThanks @JustinHamade. fitocracy looks interesting, I will join and will give it a try. crossfitfootball seems to be related to football and strength training, I will keep an eye on it.

Are these Workout Routines right for Body BuildingThanks @DaveLiepmann. Now I am starting to understand and it is also helping what other options mean as well. The reason I focused on machine based workout is that it is easy to maintain form. But I see your point in that it targets only specific muscles. I will follow your suggested workout for 6 months. So it's Squat, Bench Press(1 type), Overhead Press(1 type), Dead Lift, Chin Up with appropriate sets/reps 3 alternate days a week. In terms of adding 5 pounds, is it added for every set? So for squat(3*5), it is 165*5, 170*5, 175*5. 1 gallon of milk a day you suggest seems an interesting idea

Are these Workout Routines right for Body BuildingThanks for the detailed response @DaveLiepmann. I am still learning the differences between Strength Training(ST) and Body Building(BB). I have been training for 2 years now and only came to know ST & BB in recent weeks. I have increased my weight few months back from 63-70KG(+7KG) due to weight lifting and mainly due to the program described above(used for the past 1 year). Could you let me know if my workout program above will help me increase my weight from 70-85KG(+15KG) and also get in proper shape. If so could you please provide your input for the questions against the workout schedule.
